Ultimately the government has a duty to restrict people from doing things which are significantly harmful to others. We know enough about what greenhouse gas emissions are doing and will do in the future to know that we need to move away from using fossil fuels for things where they aren't essential. Unfortunately cars are one of those things.

If global cement production was a country, at 8% of the overall total, it would be in the top 5 for greenhouse gas emissions. So should we also ban construction utilizing concrete?
